Holy shit this anime was so good. The main girl reminds me of me and the hot guys are like my friend connor. Connor is so in love with me but I just wanna game and eat chocolate. This is one of the best anime I have ever seen I found myself laughing out loud every other minute. I am a big fan of comedies that get me to laugh irl ngl. The anime had a lot of strong points like the characters were all fire, there wasnt one that I disliked. Even the wizard grew on me. I hope connor stops trying to ask me out one day.

I have been watching anime for 15 years (how am I 30 already? No regrets though, 30 years well spent so far), with an emphasis on isekai and romance. I'm not going to say I'm infallible, but I have an opinion on this one. There is a lot to like, but also things I disagree with. It is a classic dating sim format with love interests that have surprisingly fine backgrounds. It takes a bit for those backgrounds to be realized, so be a bit patient. My qualms with the series begin with the main character being relatively unlikable in the beginning, which takes me out of the emersion because why should anyone give this lame violent person the time of day. In the end though, we find that it wasn't just plot convenience, but circumstance that would lead these people to give the protagonist the time…

I heard some good things about this anime from someone and was curious to try it out. I don't usually watch RomComs because I dislike the unrealistic setups and the development of relationships. Yes, the setups are still unrealistic in this anime, but because it's a parody, and because the execution is so hilarious, it doesn't ruin the atmosphere at all. Never have a seen a RomCom make the female protagonist so aggressive and masculine before. It was hilarious and really created a very realistic and grounded woman. Honestly, I think that's what sold the series for me, the strong willed heroine, who has lots of comedic moments.
The animation was also top-notch. Perhaps this is due to it being an ONA. Presumably the studio had more time to animate the series. And because it's an ONA, the an…

This is the difference between satire and parody. After I announced my frustration with the rom com genre where I finally got fed up with its bullshit in Couple of Cuckoos, I saw the synopsis of this show about a girl absolutely refusing to be part of that bullshit. It was a parody of the genre and I was all for it. There were some really funny jokes in this show shitting on the tropes and cliches. Rom coms are almost always driven by coincidence and contrivances and so this show takes it to the max with literal magic manipulating the events to cause, what I like to call, “anime moments”. Like when they fall on top of each other, or run into each other in the halls or when (this is my favorite in this anime) the love interests are forced to live in the same house with each other. This show…

What an absolute banger of an anime.
The heroine is so refreshing and relatable - while others around her spend a lot of their time pursuing romance, she just prefers spending her time with what she loves: mainly, playing games, hanging with her beloved cat and eating chocolates.
That is until one day a “wizard” ropes her into a game, and forces her into romantic encounters after romantic encounters.
This series is insanely funny, and the wizard (who has no clue about how human romances work) trying to force romance on someone who is just not interested is very relatable to how society often reacts when someone is just not interested in dating. I loved that the heroine’s immediate reaction to being co-erced into doing things she didn’t want was to rebel and do everything in her power to…

I haven't come across such a good comedy romance show in agesss but this one was it!
i cant tell u how much i enjoyed binging this!
this is not your typical romance comedy and i loved that.
i love how different this anime was and so creative with its story. every episode was so fun to watch <3
the show doesn't revolve around comedy only, it touches on important topics in the final eps which i think was really heart felt.
the art style is really cute and nice, i love how well the shows animated (chefs kiss)
the amount of funny scenes got me crying like hell.
All the characters are like-able and yeah i don't really have anything to complain about.
i do hope for a s2 in the near future cuz id love to see all of them again.
this is a must watch :)

I write this review with great regret because the same person who watched this show at 9PM and would give it a 3 would never believe the person who finished this show and gave it a 10.
I was so sure after 7 full episodes that this was the most annoying and glaringly tone-deaf romance anime I'd ever have the displeasure of watching. The "trope subversion" was so painful to watch alongside the very "not like other girls" comedy that the anime was dishing. I could not care about any character, especially hating every moment Riri would show up and wishing every five seconds that it was written better.
I promised one more episode and we'd finally drop it and shelve this hate-watch for good. But episode 8 actually felt fun. It was nice and it was reminiscent of the things I usually love in sho…

This series was really decent, it was nothing special, the story at first could be interesting but after some episodes, it goes down. It all becomes boring. The funny elements are good which is a highlight according to me. The characters are decent, the art style and animation are also decent. What i liked was the Mcs interacting with the ikemens. The romantic scenes come sometimes but the romantic feelings didn't feel any special. It was mainly focused on comedic elements rather than the romantic aspect. It could have been a lot better, didn't feel any special to me.
I give it 5/10.

ROMANTIC KILLER is my favorite anime of 2022
now— I already get that’s gonna raise a lotta eyebrows— even more so 'cause I went so far to make a MyAnimeList account just to talk about it— and I'm legitimately surprised at how many people are already watching and talking about it— something that makes me more happy than I can even say and— to me— really speaks to what makes this show so good
‘cause that’s right— in the year of CYBERPUNK: EDGERUNNERS, MOB PSYCHO III, and fucking CHAINSAW MAN— this goofy-ass reverse harem parody anime is my favorite
“wow this bitch really sucks at watching anime” you’re probably saying
and— like— ok— yeah— I get it
but lemme explain
ROMANTIC KILLER isn’t necessarily better than those other anime I mentioned— or even a lotta other anime most would usuall…

The truth is I expected less from this series, I thought it would be a typical romantic series of the bunch and although sometimes it is, it also brings to the table an idea that is really interesting, which is harassment, this happens almost at the end of this season but seeing that it is in the series impresses me a lot that they will take risks, on the other hand there are generic episodes most of the time, I know that this is the purpose of the series since the girl does not want to have any love relationship with anyone but I think that they were able to make it a little different to make it stand out from the other series.
In general, the series entertains and makes you have a good time, but besides that there is nothing else to highlight, from the beginning of the anime you…

Best Reverse Harem I've seen.
Cute, funny and wholesome with interesting characters. What a treat.
I just binged this anime in one sitting because I enjoyed it so much. I caught myself laughing at episode 2 and pretty much smiled throughout the whole show. There's definitely a lot of cliche situations - but the show is very selfaware and pokes fun at the romantic anime stereotypes. The characters seem like your typical stereotypes at first but quickly become very likable and interesting and you can't help but kind of root for every single one of them. I love the synergy the characters have together. Even though all the relationships seem forced at first it's extremly wholesome to see how the characters become closer, grow together and interact with eachother.
Best way to summarize how I…

Refreshing, refreshing, refreshing!! Netflix did such a good job!! I was skeptical when starting this show, because a lot of anime Netflix has made has not been the best. But I enjoyed Kotaro Lives Alone and Komi Can't Communicate, so I gave this a chance! This show was so enjoyable, and the animation was really good in my opinion! I love how there wasn't any overload of fanservice, that's fine if you want that in a show, but sometimes it's nice to watch a rom com that isn't ecchi, and this one was perfect.
I feel like it's hard to find harem-themed lead lady romance anime that are a great watch, but this show was really good! It does have tropes that are commonly used, but it does not feel aggravating or forced. It is pretty much considered a harem (even though I would say it's more so…

I clocked this as For Me so fast and it delivered far more than I could have imagined. This show is beautiful and trailblazes a vibrant visual language in which to explore its themes. As it transitions from pure comedy to a coming of age, we see every single character authentically mature so subtley that the requisite flashbacks to the first few episodes hit like a truck. There's never anything wrong with any of them. They each struggle with connection and understanding what people—including themselves—want. They each see each other as just a pretty face and systematically de-objectify each other. When they blossom, so do we.
My one negative critique is that the constant refrain of Anzu losing her three favorite things in the world wore a bit thin early on. The show pokes fun at a culture…

It's been a while since I watched such a wholesome show. It's extremely funny how they play with cliches and it's a new perspective about love I really needed to see!! I love how this anime, above all, teaches the value of friendship and true connections.
The female protagonist is one of the best I've ever seen. She's funny, relatable and super charismatic. I'd love her in real life too, she's a badass. I also love Riri's character (surprisingly!) They'll grow on you as the episodes go by. My favorite charater!! (Even though I hated them at the beggining)
Overall, PLEAAAASE watch this!!! You won't regret it. Might be my favorite Netflix production along with Aggretsuko.

Story is like a breath of fresh air. The last time I enjoyed so much shoujo with comedy was in 2007 anime : Lovely Complex
Really reccomended, its funny its cute and the MC is awesome. She is strong, smart, know what she wants but she is also have a lot of emathy and know how to be a good friend and good human being.
Its only twelve episodes but after watching last episodes you feel that everything you needeed was delivered.
Even though its netlifx anime the art style fits the story.
If you are looking for good, funny anime with character that are not annoying this is for you :)

It's been pretty a long time I've seen a rom-com with no ecchi or lewd fanservices, this anime is a lifesaver for rom-com nowadays. Since nowadays rom-com is full of... romance targets teasing/& annoying the MC.
This is not isekai, but a creature is counted to be reverse isekaied.
The hardest part to clear is the wizard and project introduction. Too damn long, hope it can be compressed to just 3 min.
In terms of character exchanges, this anime did a good job. I love how Anzu is so shounen trope, and the others came from shoujo tropes.
A creature, Riri the wizard came to Anzu's place and set up things like in otome game so Anzu can get love. Because Anzu's 3 greatest needs got robbed so that she can get serious in the program, Anzu got stubborn and defied all the flags Riri sets. Still, s…

The fall 2022 season has brought great romance anime, which my favorite by far has been Romantic Killer. The characters, the pacing, the plot and the development are amazing, and they don't force romance on the MC, as ironic as it may seem considering she was forced to fall in love in an otome setting. It has the feel of a reverse harem, but every character has its own pacing and development. The backstories are deep and I grew attatched to every single character. However, I would have enjoyed a backstory for Hijiri, since he was supposedly part of the harem and he didn't get as much spotlight as Tsukasa and Junta, so I wasn't as fond of him as the others. An argument that made me substract a point on my rating was the ending, which felt a bit rushed, but I'm hoping for a second season, wh…

If anyone is curious why the synopsis is misleading (the part of the synopsis where Anzu, the non-heroine type MC, is transported to a world full of hot guys) is that the anime made some slight changes from the first chapter of the manga where Anzu was actually sent to somewhere that resembles real life. But it is technically a reverse isekai since Riri the wizard came from the magic world AKA another world.
Aside from that, I highly recommend this show because the concept is unique where a magical being forces relationship and the heroine must avoid falling in love and Anzu's facial expressions make me laugh.

OTOME GAME but in actual anime???
Route 1: A kuudere male.
Route 2: The childhood friend.
Route 3: A narcissist male.
Special Route: ????
Romantic Killer is an anime show that is modeled after an otome game. One day, a wizard named Riri appeared out of nowhere in front of Anzu Hoshino, the main heroine, and deprived her of her three daily life necessities, Momohiko, her pet cat, video games, and chocolate, to force her into the situation of actually finding love interests and dating, as her love life was essentially non-existent prior to that??? I know what I just said is in the synopsis, but it is just the beginning and only scratches the surface of what to expect from the show.
We see Anzu Hoshino having random encounters and triggering flags from Riri's antics, and Anzu Hoshino tryin…

Finally a new romcom anime that focus heavily on comedy! the comedy itself is hit and miss, but the presentation is full of energy. I love it's over the top expressive art style breaking continuity. When the comedy hits, it slap hard with that kind of delivery. Overall the comedy is quite entertaining.
Being dating sim parody the meta joke is thrown a lot (it's funny), but also because this premise i can't take the romance seriously (even though it actually have decent romance), especially at the beginning, the plot device literally manifested as a real character, they also introduce new character like introducing NPC, it's too cliché & unnatural that i can only think their relationship as a big fat joke. it's fun and i laugh at it, but it become a problem when the show bring 'serious' m…
